Active Solvent Modulation (ASM)
Figure 21 Operating principle with sample loop flow path
Once the ASM phase has finished, which is a settable method parameter, the
analytical gradient starts. As opposed to a dilution with a permanent by-pass, the
ASM capillary is no longer in the flow path, such that fast

possible through the sample loop only.
